Corner Bouquet

A quick share with you before I'm off and running!  I had a dentist appointment this morning at 10; time for a quick lunch at home before I'm off to Mooresville for a 2:30 doctor's appointment and a 3:30 PT appointment!  Most I've had to do in a long time!!

I wanted to share with you these cards I made with the Corner Bouquet stamp set.  It is a Sale-a-Bration set that I was able to get for FREE for a $50 order.

This card uses the Emboss Resist technique.  I stamped the bouquet in two corners of the white cardstock with VersaMark Ink.  (Don't forget to rub the embossing buddy over the card first.)  Sprinkle the bouquet with white Embossing Powder & use your heat gun to melt the powder.  I used a piece of masking tape from corner to corner to mask the white area.  Put the tape on your pants to get some of the sticky off & it won't tear your card stock when removing it.  Using the Blender Brushes (pg 70 of the Mini Catalog - a set if 3 for $12) blend ink  in both corners and over the bouquet.  I used Mint Macaron, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  When you are finished blending inks, remove the tape and stamp your sentiment.  Also, use a soft rag, kleenex, paper towel, etc. to wipe excess ink off the bouquet.

For this card, again stamp and emboss the bouquet - but this time onto the black card stock.  Use blender pens to color the image.  I used a piece of retired DSP across the back of the card and framed the image with a piece of Melon Mambo.

This pretty card uses the Stitched Sweetly dies (Coastal Cabana) and Stitched Rectangles (white.)  The Field and Flower DSP is a FREE Sale-a-Bration item.  I colored the bouquet with markers.

 Which one is your favorite???
